It's Monday! What Are You Reading? & Mailbox Monday

 

Hosted by Sheila at Book Journey.  We share books that we've read over the past week and those we hope to read this week.


Last Week:
I finally had some more free time last week and gladly got quite a bit of reading accomplished (thank goodness for long weekends, eh?).
  • The Ladies of Missalonghi by Colleen McCullough (meh)
  • City of Bones by Cassandra Clare (fun)
  • Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion (uniquely awesome)
  • Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green & David Levithan (fantabulous!)
  • Divergent by Veronica Roth (amazing)
  • One Thousand White Women by Jim Fergus (great historical fiction)
This Week:

A lot of my holds at the library have gone through recently...so I have quite the little stack piled up.  Thus, I'll need to get those suckers out of the way first.  My reading plans:




Mailbox Monday is a touring meme where book bloggers share their bookish acquisitions from the week prior.  It is hosted this month by MariReads.

This week I acquired a hardcover copy of The Upright Piano Player courtesy of Doubleday


I also purchased two favorite books of mine: The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss 
 
and Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See

    The Sweetness of the Bottom of the Pie is excellent. This coming week is my last week off before summer session. I have a few books I want to finish before school begins. Come see what they are.
